Well I suppose we could try and sneak in? Check things out.

The door might be locked but I'm sure we can find a way.

It's strange that it happened with no warning. Has anyone mentioned if they'd done something to harm the library?

[kobes]

Through the windows? It's high up, though, that's dangerous. I don't want anyone to get hurt trying.

I'd ask Giles, but I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

No, it was perfectly fine when I was there yesterday. Nothing amiss. Though




I did have a strange
Project.
I wasn't supposed to talk about it when it was happening, but I think I can now? Maybe you'll have a better idea about its motivation than me. You're clever like that.

[longitudinal]

A project?

What sort of project?

I'd not ask Giles, either. I think he hates everyone. Not even sure if he really likes himself, poor old lad.

[kobes]

Sort of an information-gathering one? I'll show you, I'm on my way back now. You're at home, right?

If he doesn't like you, there's something deeply wrong with him. [Then again, Koby thinks that about anyone who doesn't like Quentin. Untrustworthy behavior.]

[longitudinal]

I don't think Giles likes anyone.

[ facts. but it's deeply amusing. ]

I'm home - come tell me all about your information-gathering project. Though I'm in the bath if that might dissuade you. I can always get out to better receive you.

[kobes]

He likes sighing just loud enough to let you know he's exasperated by you, and I think that's about it.

No, no, you'll catch a cold, running around with wet hair. Don't rush yourself. I can talk in the bathroom just as easily as anywhere else.

[He's absolutely only acting out of concern for Quentin's health and well-being. Obviously. No ulterior motives here.]

[longitudinal]

Oh whatever will I do if I do not have someone here to dry my hair for me. You're right - talking to me here in the bathroom is the wiser decision. For my health.

[ obviously he understands the health risks and he couldn't appreciate koby's mindfulness now more than ever. ]

You might even have to get in as well. It will be the only way to keep me warm once the water cools, after all.
